6 Hour Charter on November 2, 2024

From the start to the end, this day was great. Knowledgeable captain had bait wells loaded with fresh bait. The Captain kept us on fish all day long. He worked hard keeping us ready for the next big snook or red. Gonna need to ice the fighting arm after this action packed day!

Fishing for a living has been a dream come true for me. My passion for the sport and owning my own business drives me to make every effort to offer a quality day to all of my clients. I specialize in light tackle live bait fishing, as well as artificiallures and fly fishing. I educate my anglers on the small details that it takes to fool quality fish.
